Ever wondered if your blood pressure device works properly? High blood pressure is a modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factor and may be tracked with regular measurement. Many blood pressure measurement devices are convenient but not validated for accuracy.
Injured workers experience of using GP services
We’re inviting people with experience of a work-related injury and a workers’ compensation claim to take part in a study about their experiences with GP (general practitioner) care.
Carer’s Perception on Risks & Barriers to Care in Farmers with Dementia
This qualitative study will examine carers’ viewpoints on challenges and obstacles in providing care to dementia patients in agricultural communities.
Living with Anxiety study
We’re inviting people who have experienced an anxiety disorder to take part in a research study. The study aims to better understand how our genes may influence anxiety and how people respond to common medications used to treat it. By collecting survey responses from 5,000 people with anxiety, researchers hope to uncover genetic factors linked to treatment outcomes. This could lead to more effective, personalised treatment options in the future.
Parenting support for parents of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities
We are looking for families of children (0-10 years old) diagnosed with any neurodevelopmental disability (including autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, FASD etc.) or developmental delay to take part in the trial of an online parenting support program PACT Online.
Engagement in Mindfulness Practice Among Individuals with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
Researchers from the University of Sydney want to learn more about how and why some people with chronic musculoskeletal pain choose to engage in certain health and wellness practices, such as mindfulness meditation. The survey includes a mix of multiple-choice and open-ended questions and will take approximately 10 to 20 minutes to complete.
Understanding Health Needs During Climate Crises
This study is part of a PhD project and aims to explore healthcare consumers’ lived experiences during climate-related disasters, such as heatwave, tropical storms, floods and bushfires in Australia. Information collected in this study will allow us to understand the gap in the current health system in responding to climate-related disasters.
Physical activity and sedentary behaviour of mothers and children of South Asian origin

HARMON-E group-based online trial for people living with depression or bipolar disorder
Researchers at the Food and Mood Centre at Deakin University are looking for volunteers to participate in the HARMON-E trial that aims to compare the effectiveness of two mental health programs for improving depressive symptoms. One program is run by allied health professionals and the other by registered psychologists.
